Chiropractors use a range of techniques to reduce pain, improve function and increase mobility, including hands-on manipulation of the spine. Chiropractic treatment involves safe, often gentle, specific spinal manipulation to free joints in the spine or other areas of the body that are not moving properly.

Many people worry that their first visit to the chiropractor will be painful. In most cases, adjustments are not painful to undergo, though they may be awkward or uncomfortable if you are not used to your body being manipulated in that way. This discomfort often subsides after a couple of visits.

After thoroughly evaluating your condition and overall health, your chiropractor will proceed with a detailed physical examination. This examination will involve a variety of tests, such as assessing your posture to identify any imbalances and evaluating your range of motion to determine any limitations or discomfort. This comprehensive approach helps ensure an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plan.

Once the initial assessment and physical examination has been done, your chiropractor may require you to have further investigations such as an X-ray (or another type of scan such as CT or MRI) or a blood test. If these are required, your chiropractor will explain why they are necessary, and how  and when they will be arranged.

After completing the assessments, your chiropractor will explain your condition and whether chiropractic treatment can help. If so, they'll provide a care plan outlining the expected outcomes, treatment options, costs, and any recommended exercises or lifestyle changes to support your recovery. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions to ensure you fully understand the proposed treatment.

Chiropractors use a technique often known as adjustments or manual therapy, to free stiff or restricted joints by applying quick, precise thrusts. This may produce harmless popping sounds as gas bubbles in the joint fluid are released. Treatment may also include massage, stretching, electrotherapy, joint mobilization, and sometimes medical acupuncture or an instrument called an activator. Self-help advice is a key part of chiropractic care, including guidance on managing your condition, preventing recurrence, and using ice, heat, or exercises at home. Treatment often spans several weeks, especially for chronic issues, with a planned series of sessions. Throughout your care, your chiropractor will be available to address any questions about your condition and treatment.
